The pink telephone, which has only accepted 10-yen coins, is redesigned in 1985 to accept 100-yen coins in order to facilitate long-distance and extended calls. Other changes include an emergency call button that can be pressed to allow '110' and '119' calls, a bell volume control function, and toll-free calling capability. The new pink and black two-tone body is well received. By January 1989 new models will be introduced in light black and pale beige colors.
